MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 84

The ABC company has an Anypoint Runtime Fabric on VMs/Bare Metal (RTF-VM) appliance installed on its own customer-hosted AWS infrastructure.

Mule applications are deployed to this RTF-VM appliance. As part of the company standards, the Mule application logs must be forwarded to an external log management tool (LMT).

Given the company's current setup and requirements, what is the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) way to send Mule application logs to the external LMT?

Answer options

• A. In RTF-VM, install and configure the external LTM's log-forwarding agent
• B. In RTF-VM, edit the pod configuration to automatically install and configure an Anypoint Monitoring agent
• C. In each Mule application, configure custom Log4j settings
• D. In RTF-VM, configure the out-of-the-box external log forwarder

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because installing and configuring the external LMT's log-forwarding agent is the most direct and idiomatic method for ensuring logs are forwarded accurately to the intended tool. Option B is incorrect as Anypoint Monitoring is not specifically an external log management tool. Option C would require additional effort and customization for each application, which is not efficient. Option D may not be suitable if the external log forwarder is not designed to work with the specific external LMT.
